Pretty much all of the Rifts books are available to pull from. I'm just looking for character ideas. Kinda wanting to play something new.


1. Get on Amazon.Com or wherever, and order a used copy of the book Walpurgis III, by Mike Resnick.
It will tell you pretty much everything you need to know about playing an evil character.

2. Last evil character I played was a Transdimensional TMNT-style Mutant Hominidon, using the TMNT Adventures rules for super powers. I took Animal Abilities for 0 Bio-E, and spent the 50 extra Bio-E (along with any other extra I had) on Extraordinary IQ (Hominidon version).
Long story short, I had a character with a +45% or so bonus to all skills.
And since I took a N&S martial art, and traded some of the powers for skill programs, I had a LOT of skills.

Or, if the GM let me, a [Censored] from Rifts World Book:: Delta Blues.

For me it would either be a Psi-Slayer, an Invincible Guardsman, or a Mystic Knight. All three have great potential for good, fun evil play.

The idea of playing a fallen cyberknight has always interested me.
Personally, I think that we have a duty as role-players to try to anchor each other to reality a bit. To keep other gamers from being complete freaks and weirdos, or even psychopaths, if we can. Killer Cyborg

Actually I'd be content with a handful of minions. They wouldn't even have to be evil. They could be unscrupulous, they'd Probably be cheaper and easier to find anyway.

I wonder what would happen if i posted a classified?

An aberrant evil cyber-knight. The kind that demands unbending loyalty and brooks neither failure nor insubordination from his underlings. To do so is to be punished severely, even if it means they must die. His code of ethics may be harsher and more severe than his good counterparts, but he respects honorable beings all the same.
